The Government Willfully Neg
lects to Settle just Claim of
Twenty-Five Years Standing.
Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, Oct. lone of the
most pathetic cases ever known in the
Interior department is that of the claim
ant, M. P. Kimball. On July 81, 1865, a
train was attacked by Cheyenne and
ArapahCe Indians, and several parties
were wounded more or less severely.
M. Z. Kimball lost four wagons, twelve
mules, harness, tobacco, blankets, guns,
pistols, flour, bacon, ETC., amounting in
all to $1,000. Kimball himself was
wounded by an arrowhead, which re-
manned in the wound for eighteen days,
until he reached Salt Lake City, where
he received attention and careful nurs-
ing and recovered. The attack was
made upon the train thirty miles east of
Fort Halleck, and is authenticated. On
November 9, 1885, Kimball, with two
eye-wltneSses present, made applica-
ton for reimbursement at the hands
of the government. Congress failed
annually to appropriate for the payment
OF claims of this kind, and now, twenty
two years after the misfortune occurred,
an appropriation has been made for an
investigation. The mans lifetime has
been wasted. The means then at his
command might have made him a mill
ionaire. Deprived of everything, there
is no telling what may have become of
him. Department inspectors have found
that both witnesses are dead and the
present address of Kimball is unknown.
The Indian agent, who was in charge
of the agency at the time, has testified
lot
committed, and he names the Indians,
who confessed to him afterwards, that
they had done as alleged. Yet, all of
these years have gone by and the gov
eminent, with its teeming millions of
surplus, has dishonesty refused to even
consider the just claim of this man.
Where is he? Or, where are his heirs?

President Cleveland Inclined to
Call One About Nov. 1-.-Ran-
dali Must Come to Time.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The president
is strongly inclined to call an extra ses-
sion for Tuesday, Nov. 1. 1t is be-
lieved to be the idea of the president
that an extra session thus called would
enable the house to get into working or
der and dispose of its personal quarrels
and ambitions in time to get down to
work by the 1st of December. He does
not believe that there is any immediate
necessity for an extra session on ac-
count of monetary affairs, But he is
said to be of the opinion that by calling
an extra session the usual legitimate
business of congress can be attended to,
including the money market, the sur
plus, the tariff and their corelations, in
time for an adjournment early next
spring. 1t is anticipated that the
house will experience some difficulty
in organizing. The question of the
continued domination of the majority
by Sam Randall and his minority must
be settled at this session, once for all.
Either Randall must go over to the Re-
publicans and help them organize the
house, or else he must come into the
Democratic party and accept a position
at the tail end of some unimportant
committee. 1t is not expected that he
will have craftsmanship of any COM
mittee. These matters are to be set
tied, and if the president calls an extra
session at all it will be on this account.

Striking Miners.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Oct. 2.-The min
ers in the Springfield district are out on
a strike for an advance of wages to 671l
cents per ton. Their wages have been
about 55 cents per ton. Over 1,50O men
are now out. The miners at Peters
burg have also struck. No reports are

to bring on strike there if the Column
bus scale is not granted, and they eX-

eral. The miners claim that the wages
do not afford them support for them
selves and families and that the opera
tors are selling coal to the railroads and
other large consumers at ruinous prices
and cutting wages to the verge of star
vation to make up the losses.

the Spirit. Let us cheer ourselves with
these words. Let us drink of this well
by the way, and lift up our hands
and be glad. The best testimony
we can give. to the influence of the
dead is to continue and extend the work
in which they delighted whilst they
were yet with us. There is to be no
mere gazing up into the heavens. There
are to be no fruitless tears. In crying
for the absent we may in reality be in
dulging our own selfShneSS. There is
a sorrow that is not divine, and there
fore not useful. The Lord is a risen
Lord, and we should know the power of
HIS RESURRECTION

feel that they who are dead in Christ
are alive in Him ever more. The Lord

Me in heaven and in earth. Go ye.
therefore, and teach" Mark that
word therefore" 1t indicates point
In an argument: and it is because we
are risen in Christ, because we have
overcome the sharpness of death and
the darkness of the grave that we are
bound to go forth and teach wherever
opportunity occurs. We are to
speak light, to offer comfort,
to release captivity, to bring
morning to shine upon the abodes of
gloom. If any man says he mOurns the
dead so deeply that he can do nothing
for them living, he is diShOnOring the
dead whom he never understood, and
blighting the flowers which he pretends
to preserve. When we mourn our
sainted dead it is our infrmity that
mournS. Our faith rejoiceS, our hope
sings, our love keeps blessed festival,
for we say that they shall hunger no
more. neither thirst any more, neither
shall the sun light on them nor any
forget our SORROWS and call upon all
men to praise the Lord for His goodness
in giving rest to His weary ones.
praise Him with the sound of the
trumpet; praise Him with the psalter
and harp; praise Him with the timbrel
and dance; praise Hin with stringed

the doors of heaven and made them
glad who knew once the bitterness of
infinite tribulation.
With DR.. Parker in the pulpit was DR..
Beecher's former helper and present
acting pastor, Rev. S. B. Halliday. The
church was never more crowded. Had
it been twice as large it would have
been filled. The people were formed in
line in the street by policeman and adj
mitted only as fast as the ushers could
seat them. In the pastors pew, No.
81, sat Mrs. Beecher and Mrs. Parker.
The oratory of DR.. Parker is simple
and unaffected. There is an occasional
betrayal of English idioms in his speech.
AS rule, the opinions of his hearers
were favorable to him, and it was pre-
dicted by some that call would be ex-
tended to him by the church. DR..
Parker has declined to state whether he
would or would not accept call.

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 2.-For con-

the Detroit City Railway company have
had suspicious that their receipts from
their Congress and Baker street line

The company began paying off and dis

has also been discharged, the company
thinking he should have discovered the

season from Jan. to Oct.1 was slightly
below the normal on the Atlantic coast,

and it was slightly warmer
than usual in the Ohio and central
Mississippi valleys and generally
throughout the Southern states, the

states. Over the greater portion of the
region the deficiency has exceeded ten
inches. In the tobacco regions of Vir-
ginia, Kentucky and Tennessee the de-
ficiency in rainfall for the season gener-
ally amounts to less than five inches,
except in the extreme western portions
of Tennessee and Kentucky, where the
deficiency in rainfall for the season ex-
ceeds ten inches. The only states re-
porting an excess of rainfall for the
season were Tennessee, Maine, South

Sorghum Smear

WASHINGTON, Oct. commissioner
Colman returned yesterday from New
York. He says the reports continue
favorable in regard to the success of
the sorghum sugar industry, both at
Fort Scott and Rio Grande, the sugar
improving in quality and quantity as
the work continues and that there
seems to be no doubt that a genuine
success has been achieved by the new
process. He says letters are pouring
in from all parts of the. country asking
for full information in regard to cost of
machinery, ETC., and there is every
prospect of a great sorghum boom an
other year which will revolutionize the
sugar industry, and in few years
emancipate our nation from foreign ma
lions for sugar supplies.
